What Do We Need to Imagine?
Sunday March 15, 2026 at 10:30 am
Joanna Lubkin guest preacher
“Change is coming. What do we need to imagine?” These lyrics by Molly Bajgot invite us to tune into our inner wisdom and harness the power of radical imagination to bring about the world we want to see. We’ll seek inspiration from poets and prophets, sacred stories and speculative fiction. Guest speaker, rabbinical student Joanna Lubkin, will explore the stories — sacred and secular — which help us envision a better world.
Joanna Lubkin is delighted to be back as a guest speaker at First Parish, after providing pastoral care to the congregation for several summers. Since she last joined us, Joanna has returned to Hebrew College to become a rabbi, thirteen years after she initially started there. Her path has included ten years of service in UU congregations, college chaplaincy, a lifetime of Jewish education, a passion for songleading, and training as a community organizer. She is called to cultivate radically welcoming communities, where people can feel like they wholeheartedly belong. Joanna is the Worship Arts Lead at The Sanctuary Boston, and recently served as the student rabbi at Etz Hayim Congregation in Derry, NH.
